Author Description

Excerpt from Egyptian Antiquities in the Pier Collection, Vol. 1 In stating the provenance of many of the objects contained in the plates, I have often only the statements of dealers or Arabs to rely on, still I am very sure that objects catalogued as coming from Negadeh, Abydos, and Dimeh did come from those very sites. The most remarkable pieces of glazeware I have colored, and in so doing have endeavored to reproduce the softened tones of their present condition. All glazeware catalogued as coming from the site of the "Palace of Amenhotep III, Thebes," was found upon that site. Wherever there is the least doubt, I have inserted(?). Stone implements figured in these pages are representative specimens from a large collection, the majority of which are Fayum surface finds. A specimen of every common Fayum type, and a few of the more unusual forms, are given. As my collection is steadily growing, I have arranged to publish this catalogue in several volumes.
